Movie To Be Released Simultaneously on BitTorrent and DVD

Even though this is a direct-to-DVD movie and not some triple AAA blockbuster, this is an interesting idea to say the least. Any guesses on the outcome?

The DVD will contain content that's supposedly compelling enough to lure those who downloaded the movie into buying the hard copy. The movie won't be in theaters -- it's another one of those straight-to-video titles. But this is a first: The BitTorrent version, while full-length, serves as a tease. So if you buy the DVD, you'll get alternate endings, along with extra material that won't be available on the BitTorrent feed.
